To apply for a PhD at ED406, all new candidates must submit the following documents to the secretariat (emmanuelle.blin.1@sorbonne-universite.fr)
- a detailed CV highlighting strengths
- a transcript of grades from the M1 (S1 and S2) and M2 (S3) Master's courses
- a certificate of successful completion of the Master's program
- a detailed letter of motivation (motivations for doing a thesis and for the chosen project)
- one or two letters of recommendation, one of which must be from the person who supervised the Master's practical placement (M1 and, if possible, M2)
- a thesis proposal (2 to 3 pages)
- proof of funding
The application will be examined by the ED Board before registration.
At the same time, an individual interview will be organized between the ED director or deputy director and the future doctoral student.
Complementary activities
A doctoral student may carry out various activities in addition to his or her main research mission.
These activities are limited to 1/6 of the annual effective working time. All of these non-research activities contribute to the doctoral student's skills development, and can be included in the curriculum vitae and portfolio of the future doctor.
